As it undertakes a $5 billion national effort to remodel locations and open new ones, low-cost grocery chain Aldi started offering delivery in metro Detroit with app-based service Instacart as of Monday.

In metro Detroit, Aldi shoppers can get groceries sent to their door anywhere Instacart delivers, Ryan Fritsch, Webberville division vice president for Aldi, said in an emailed statement.

It's planning delivery through Instacart in 35 states and 5,000 ZIP codes after a testing period in Atlanta, Dallas, Los Angeles and the Chicago area. Rollout across Michigan is expected in the near future.

Instacart also delivers from CVS Pharmacy and Petco Animal Supplies Inc. in metro Detroit, according to its website. It delivers produce, canned goods, baked goods and other grocery items.

Aldi has around 35 stores in metro Detroit, its website says, wtih two in the city of Detroit. Instacart's site says delivery is available in the ZIP codes for both Detroit stores.

The Batavia, Ill.-based chain has started stocking more produce, baked goods and healthful options. It's also undertaking a remodeling campaign to make locations look more open and inviting.

Aldi operates more than 1,800 stores in the U.S. and is investing more than $5 billion in new stores and renovations. It aims to increase its store count to 2,500 by the end of 2022. The company expects $28 million of that total to go to metro Detroit. It has completed half of 20 planned remodels in the region.

The retailer plans a grand opening Thursday for its new Farmington Hills store at 30790 Orchard Lake Road. Two others are expected in Livonia and at the Village at Bloomfield development.
